Question

You were 40 hours per week at a candy store and earn $7.50 per hour. You also earn $7.00 per hour babysitting and can work as many hours as you want. You want to earn $370 a week. How many hours must you babysit?

Answer 1

10 hours. It is this because you are making 300 dollars a week from the cando store and there is 70 dollars left at a rate of 7/per hour, so it is 10 hours

Answer 2

40 hours times 7.50$ equals 300$ from working at the candy store. subtract 370 and 300. youre left with 70 dollars you need to come up with. you get paid 7 dollars an hour from babysitting. 70 divided by 7 is ten. you babysit ten hours.
